June 26-Four-teen-year-old George Rogalski of Chicago faces ten years in the state penitentiary for kidnaping a 3-yrar-old girl and abandoning her to freeze to death.

fine, civic-minded man. determined to go straight, are fairly remote. The chances, indeed, of his getting out of jail and staying out are not too bright according to th<- results of a study of 1.000 delinquent boys in Massachusetts, just off the press, which is causing a certain furor in learned circles. Os th** boys studied exactly 80 pei cent who had served one prison term returned as second ofT°nders. according to this report, made by Professor and Mrs. Sheldon Glueric for the Harvard law school survey of crime in Boston. Wh r n four-fifths of the alumni of a jail return later it is obvious that that jail does not deserve the title of reformatory. Menaces Society A 14-year-old boy guilty of the crime of little George Rogalskt is obviously a menace to society and must be confined. But he is almost as obviously suffering from some mental abnormality which society might at least try to correct. Every child is worth some effort to salvage him. And without casting aspersions on the manner in which our prisons are run. it seems fair to sav that their atmosphere is not ideal for an unbalanced boy. Perhaps it ts not ideal for any inmate, however long a record he may have. Too many of our prisons still are run on the medieval theory that the prisoner is there to he punished, not to he restored to a happy and useful point of view. Better Use for Money The amount of money that we spend in providing guards and lodging for second and fifth offenders might go far toward providing prison psychologists who would work toward the rehabilitation of the criminal.

jury arbitrarily sets as a sentence might sometimes be reduced to a few months if the offenders before the law were given indeterminate sentences —to end as soon as they were fit to lead lives of social usefulness. But George will go to a jail w here men old in crime are the ideal of his commounitv. He will meet no one, in all probability, who makes an effort to study his case in the lirht of science, and to see whether he can be cured. Then he will be turned out, at the age of 24. to revenge himself upon society for the ten years of punishment he has received. And society, by its stupidity, has asked for just that.

A Woman’s Viewpoint
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON SALVATION is an American specialty. At present we all are wrought up over the childbirth mortality rate, and every popular publication carries statistics on the subject. If it were not mothers, it probably would be something else. These campaigns are periodical with us. One season it's this,
another season it's that. Mothers, slumdwellers. veterans. farmers, white slave victims. Somehow we never see the forest for the trees. The larger issue upon whose outcome all the lesser ones depend goes neglected,

Mrs. Ferguson
while w'e stir about in our little stews. Mothers should be saved. Mothers could be saved if we made a decent social and economic wwld for them to live in. The reason so many women die in child-bed is not the fault of our hearts, but of our heads, which seem incapable of realizing that mothers suffer mainly because our system is bad. When w'e understand that each individual is an asset or a liability; that every soul born under the Stars and Stripes has possibilites for good or evil help or harm us collectively; and when w'e finally decide that business must exist for the benefit of the individual and not the individual for the benefit of business, then, and then only, can American mothers be safe. But to rescue women from death in childbirth only to throw' them and their babies upon an economic scrap heap, where both are forlorn and miserable, or charges upon the community, is at best questionable kindness. Man's actual happiness, his future destiny, depends upon the economic system under which he lives. It often is said that art does not flourish best under prosperity, that it languishes and dies. But, then, neither can it thrive under starvation. And mothers are our greatest artists. They create power, beauty, civilization, life. Do you believe they can ever fashion good citizens in any country where they feel no security for the future and where all their strength goes into a bitter struggle for mere survival? Group salvation is inadequate. The whole must be saved, or the parts perish. When sweeping wholesale methods to improve the general lot are made, mothers will reap their share of benefits.
Your Child Terrors Suffered by Parents Often Develop in Offsprings
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON l Among my letters today is one from a mother possessed of a fear. This fear is more than the usual kind with which all of us are familiar. It is a result of mental ' shock—a terrible experience she had some years ago that evidently has left some definite scar. Asa result, she is afraid ol’ night, of the dark, and of noises. She lives behind bolted doors and lies awake all night, imagining every second that something awful is ,about to happen. * But she asks advice, not about I herself, but about her boy. who is developing the same sense of danger. He is ill, nervous, thin, pale and at | the point of hysteria. She has tried every means in her power to exert self-control and to J ; hide her terror from him. ‘But none of us have will-power beyond a certain point. It is quite clear that he has absorbed the same terror slant that she has. What would I do? she asks. I have written to her advising her to take herself in hand first—to remove the direct cause of her boy's mental chaos by instantly go- 1 ing after her own troubles. She says she has been to a doctor but | it did no good. I Today, there are many doctors, doctors of the body and doctors of : the mind and nerves. The latter go !by various names depending on their work. Some are neurologists, | some are pathologists, and some are j psychiatrists. I I ftel that too many people with easily cured nervous or mental strains allow themselves to go on suffering without making any attempt to reach the doctor who could do them the most good. It is neither intelligent or sensible to j laugh at this branch of therapy.l i Nor is it correct to think that they | practice only with the insane. For instance, my correspondent is ! a perfectly sane, sensible and nor-

mal woman. To have a fear phobia as a result of shock is not in the least related to an unbalanced mind or insanity. It is something, moreover, that can be cured, often very simply and easily cured. Her own case, probably, would not be incentive enough for me to write this article, but as it happens I know of several mothers who so nearly approach her in experience and whose children have been conditioned to the same fears, that I feel the advice I have given her may be of benefit to others. First, be sure that the person you go to for help is not a “quack’’

doctor, but , id reputation and ITf you are earnest in be honest and make no '■EWnpt to conceal what you a childish terror. Health deixnds on organs and blood and many other things. It also depends on steady nerves and a clear courageous mind. It is now recognized that one should have attention as well as the other. One can not force oneself out of fear once it has become chronic, especially as a result of shock. It needs outside suggestion and help, professionally and scientifically given. The best mother is the healthy and mentally contented one who may pass on her wholesome attitude to her children. Miss Marie Landrey will be hostess tomorrow* ror a meeting of Gamma chapter, Rho Delta sorority.
